I don't think the ride is bad at all. My 370Z rides much better than my modified 350Z does and it handles just as well.

Picked up three 5qt Mobil1 today. Going to do the G's oil change over the weekend. Z's change in early Aug. Not sure when the Fit needs change but got Mobil1 silver cap as well but in 5W20.

I drove to work and training afterwards

Coming to a light, I had to quickly stop, downshifted to 2nd, the sound of the back pressure (love it) scared some lady who was getting into her parked car and she dropped her shopping bags lol.

I dunno...it made me laugh

Alright, well here she is with just the front removed.

I might get the front redone in a lighter shade after the ticket gets signed off by the CHP tomorrow.

I got a fix-it ticket like 4 blocks from the ocean in Manhattan Beach by the MBPD so I removed the front tint to get it signed off.

I have been told that if you take it to the CHP they won't charge you to sign it off so that's why I am taking it there.

in for DSLR pics of it! I've been wondering whether I should get mine done matte, or gloss.

I haven't really been planning on CF bits, but only because of the reported yellowing. Any idea how well the CF vinyl will hold up?

Alright guys... So what I did with my Z today....spent a couple hours after work detailing the Z, and also, as requested, I took some better shots of the 3M Scotchprint 1080 CF using my DSLR

My evo 3d smartphone is nice, but it's still a phone and it shoots pics worth $h!t. Oh Ken, btw, I called my insurance guy, no dice on the discount for clearbra-ing the headlights

So, anyway, washed Zena with ONR (no hose, double bucket wash), dried with FK425, then waxed with Supernatural Hybrid over existing Supernatural from 1 week ago. Mmmmm... Supernatural is my new favorite wax.

And here's the waxes I love..........

Then my almost 11 year old, 95k miles Civic

draped in Optimum Opti-coat 2.0 (permanent hand-applied clear coat).

Looks fantastic G2Z! That civic looks like it was just driven off the lot!

Well done sir!

Thanks happy... I appreciate it.

Oh by the way, to answer your question from before... no issue with the 3M wrap being used by the exhaust. From what I read in the specs, and my talk with my installer, it should tolerate the heat from the exhaust with no issues. If not, it's warrantied anyway. You should go ahead and wrap yours too!!! I love mine! Next up, front bumper black trim, b-pillars, and kick plates.

And btw, the Civic has 95k miles!!!

had her since new, 80 miles off the lot.
